Chlor-XTRA ™

(Patented)

Vista’s Chlor-Xtra™ is an enhanced 6% sodium hypochlorite solution designed for irrigation, debridement and cleansing of root canals during and after instrumentation. The addition of powerful wetting agents and proprietary surface modifiers enables it to penetrate into lateral canals and isthmuses by lowering the surface tension. Clinically Proven: • To work 4X FASTER than ChlorCid®* Compared to standard Sodium Hypochlorite,

Chlor-XTRA™ offers: • Greater oxidizing power • 2+ times more wetting ability

• To REDUCE post-treatment complications • To IMPROVE contact and dissolve more tissue • To INCREASE lubricity • To DECREASE surface tension

• 2+ times more digestive • Half the surface tension

Tissue Dissolution by Sodium Hypochlorite: Effect of Concentration, Temperature, Agitation and Surfactant Addition. Aim: Sodium hypochlorite is the most commonly used endodontic irrigant due to its antimicrobial and tissue dissolving activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of concentration, temperature and agitation on the tissue dissolving ability of sodium hypochlorite. In addition, a hypochlorite product with added surface active agent was compared with conventional hypochlorite solutions. Methods: Three sodium hypochlorite solutions from two different manufacturers in concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4% and 5.8% were tested at room temperature, 37°C and 45°C with and without agitation by ultrasonic and sonic energy and pipetting. Distilled and sterilized tap water were used as controls. Pieces of bovine muscle tissue (68±3) were placed in 10 ml of each solution for five minutes. In selected samples, agitation was performed for one, two or four 15 sec periods per each minute. The tissue specimens were weighed before and after treatment, and the percentage of weight loss was calculated. Results: Weight loss (dissolution) of the tissue increased almost linearly with the concentration of sodium hypochlorite. Higher temperatures and agitation considerably enhanced the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite. The effect of agitation on tissue dissolution was greater than that of temperature, continuous agitation resulting in fastest tissue dissolution. Hypochlorite with added surface active agent was most effective in tissue dissolution in all experimental situations.

Antimicrobial and Tissue Dissolving Capabilities of Different NaOCl Concentration The objective of this in vitro study was to establish the antimicrobial efficacy and the potential to dissolve vital pulp using different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solutions. The following solutions were tested: (1) 2% NaOCl (Thick Jik); (2) 3.5% NaOCl (Jik); (3) 6% NaOCl (Vista); (4) 6% NaOCl (Dent-Ionics); (5) 6% NaOCl (Chlor-XTRA ™ ) and (6) Water (Control). No significant inhibition of E. faecalis was observed with sterile water (control) and 3.5% NaOCl. However, the 2% NaOCl and all the other 6% NaOCl solutions showed significant inhibition against E. faecalis. Chlor-XTRA ™ dissolved the pulp tissue in significantly less time compared to all the other groups (p<0.05). Chlor-XTRA™ offered the best antimicrobial properties and tissue dissolving capabilities.
